Air handling for fabs stuff is up to 24 months lead time, and has no use in any other industry.
Ultra clean water plants — 9 to 18 months. Just two vendors on the planet.
Gas plants — take few years to construct by themselves

Cleaning stations, degassing stations, industry specific SCADA hardware, AMHS... (https://youtu.be/XKXZT-BBUEE)
